    Great slices!
    Daniel B.

    Was running late, leaving work to catch my Son's club team ballgame up in West Milford. Needed to grab a quick bite and stopped into Vesuvio. Great slice! Hot, oily, cheesy deliciousness! Nice find!

    The sign!!!

    Bare-bones, no frills, great slices. This is a charming little 49 year old business run by the same family in West Milford for its entire existence. They don't pretend to be anything fancier than they are (they're as un-fancy as a place can get), nor do they put on any airs when all you want is a slice and a Snapple. A busy man - most likely the owner - will take your order in between the conversation he's having with the other person behind the counter, and there are old, now defunct, coin-operated bubble gum machines up against the wall, and a small menu with very likely little variation from the menu that started it all for them in the mid-70's is lit up with press-letters in the standard see-through red you grew up seeing in pizza places as a kid. The place is freaking perfect. When I'm back near West Milford High school, I will definitely be dropping in again for a slice

    No flop

    Traveling in WM for work, I stopped at an old pizzeria that's been around for 30+ years through my youth. Quality slice like I remember years ago. Crust has that classic crunch!! Best slice in WM

    Horrible service gave attitude to a child and started to rush the child when she tried to order.

    D'Boathaus was the perfect lakeside brunch spot for my sister's bachelorette weekend on Greenwood…read moreLake. We rented an Airbnb nearby and wanted a fun Sunday brunch with a beautiful view, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. We made an 11 AM reservation and were glad we arrived before the crowds started rolling in. They offered both a featured brunch menu and an extensive drink menu with lots of options for the group. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She even took a table photo for us and later noticed us struggling to take a group picture outside after brunch -- she actually came outside to take photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and really went above and beyond for such a special occasion. The atmosphere was also so welcoming. The locals were incredibly kind, and one woman even bought our table a bottle of champagne after hearing we were celebrating a bride-to-be. It made the whole experience feel extra memorable. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciated that they offered gluten-free options, including gluten-free toast. I had the spinach and feta omelet with home fries, and everything was delicious. My sister is a huge Eggs Benedict fan and loved their version as well. The location right on Greenwood Lake is beautiful. They have dock space for people arriving by boat, plus outdoor seating that would be amazing on a nice summer day. There are also two parking lots on either side of the restaurant, which made parking easy for us, although I could see it filling up quickly during peak summer weekends. The prices were definitely on the higher end, but honestly, for a nice restaurant directly on the lake with great service and atmosphere, it felt worth it. I'm already looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area!

We started with the steamed vegetable dumplings which were amazing even without a dipping sauce which they give you two selections. Next we had the turkey flatbread which also was amazing. Their smash burger was exceptionally good! Finally, the best Cuban since a Miami trip that I have ever had. Five stars are not enough for this place. Note, Friday at 3 pm the place was packed.

The menu is incredibly diverse, offering an excellent selection of pasta, seafood, chicken, and steak. The food is beautifully prepared. The lemon lobster ravioli was cooked to perfection with an outrageously delicious, perfectly balanced zesty lemon flavor. Even better was the Tartufo Risotto with black truffle--the rich flavor profile was incredible and prepared flawlessly. For dessert, the homemade pistachio cheesecake was decadent, velvety smooth, and packed with creamy flavor. We also loved the extra special Banana Strawberry Flambé, which was prepared tableside right in the intimate dining room for everyone to see! Our service team, led by Blendi, was on top of everything. They were incredibly attentive, accommodating, and welcoming. With great food, sharp service, and very decent pricing, this restaurant is highly recommended. It is an easy 5-minute drive right off Route 287. There is a small parking lot in the rear, plus plenty of local neighborhood and street parking. Reservations are recommended but not required. We will definitely be back!

I thought it was an order at the counter and then find a seat restaurant so I was disappointed when they said there were reservations and they couldn't accommodate our party of two. When I had looked on the website, there was no place to make a reservation so I was surprised by this. I wish it had been more clear. Additionally, there was a sign to inform customers that the prices on the menu would be higher due to increased costs. The staff was friendly and asked if we wanted to order takeout instead- which we did. However, one of the reasons I chose this place was because I thought it was a casual counter style restaurant, that would have lower prices. I do realize seafood is expensive, but I would've chosen a seafood restaurant that would allow us to sit down. We ordered lobster rolls Connecticut style. They were fantastic and crabcakes, which were full of crab. The food was 5 stars but the lack of info about reservations coupled with the increased prices is 3 stars so I am settling on 4 stars. This restaurant is good as long as you know to make reservations and expect higher prices.
